#AD Changing our garden watering system to a drip irrigation has already helped us save so much water. Now the water only goes directly to the plants that need it. No more wasted water from sprinkler heads watering spots that don’t need it. @saveourwaterca

Wishing I was still back in my happy place. I may not be there, but at least it’s Friday!
On a separate note, has anyone else jumped on the belt bag craze? I got my first one last year for my travels. I became so obsessed with it that I haven’t used a purse now in over a year! I have never liked carrying around a bunch of stuff so these are just so convenient, and they are perfect for travel. They have a bunch of really cute colors out right now perfect for spring and summer. I have them linked on my LTk. I have the Link in bio. Have a Happy weekend! #disneycaliforniaadventure #fridayvibes #happyweekend https://liketk.it/4E0zo #ltkfashion #shopltk @shop.ltk

I knew I would find some ways to use all that parsley! I totally forgot about this Couscous Tabouleh recipe. I used to make it all the time years ago. I have the full recipe up on stayingblonde.com #couscous #couscoussalad #tabbouleh #couscoustabouleh #summersalad #saladrecipes #easyrecipeideas

Who else has started planting? So far I’ve gotten my tomatoes and peppers in the ground. I think it might finally be warm enough to plant my cucumbers this weekend! I love spring! If you’ve started planting what have you planted? #gardeninglife #veggiegarden #californialiving #springtime #springvibes

Having a nice sit down meal is essential to making our Disney trip as magical as possible. We have a few restaurants that we look forward to each time we visit. In order to get the reservations we want, even at the hard to get restaurants, we use a few techniques that have worked for us each and every time.
1. Book Early: Reservations open up at 6 AM, 60 days in advance.
2. Be Flexible: Book what ever time you can get. You can always try to change the time after you get the reservation.
3. Check for Cancellations: These do pop up every so often.
4. Join a Walk-up List: these actually work a lot better than I thought they would.
5. Visit in Person: if all else fails, go visit the restaurant where you would like to eat. If you visit, especially in the off hours, there is a chance they can get you in.
You can find more about these five simple tips over on StayingBlonde.com. I have a link to the blog post in my bio. #disneydining #disneytips #disneyland #disneylandcalifornia #bluebayou #lamplightlounge #carthaycircle #tradersamsenchantedtikibar #disneymom #disneyfamily #disneymagicmoments

Happy Friday! Do you always buy bikinis as a set? Or do you buy pieces separately?
I used to always buy them as a set, but now I am really picky about bottoms, especially if they are pricy! I loved this top so much, but I wasn’t crazy about the bottoms that went with it. They didn’t have much coverage, and I need coverage! 😝 So I splurged on the top, which I am glad that I did because it’s great quality and oh so comfortable. I found these bottoms for under $15 at Target and I think they work great. I did this with the cream version of this suit too.
The top was just too cute to pass up. If you’re looking for a comfortable, flattering, wireless bikini top that holds everything in place you need to check this one out. It’s on the pricier side, but so worth it. I feel like I will still have this top 20 years from now. I have it linked in my bio and on my LTK page. https://liketk.it/4DpnF #bikini #bikiniseason #swimsuitseason #swimsuit #ltkswim #disneylandhotel #springbreak #montceswim #fashionover40 #styleover40 #whatiweartoday

I can’t believe we got this last minute reservation. What a surprise! This was our first time dining at the Lamplight lounge, and I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but the food was delicious and the show was amazing! There is seriously no better way to watch “World of Color!”
I have a new post up on Staying Blonde with five tips on how to always get the dining reservations you want at Disney.

I think I’ve already found my new favorite summer dress! I can’t believe that I was on the fence about sending it back. Have you started summer shopping yet?

Yay for Spring Break! One great thing about living in California is having @disneyland within driving distance for a spontaneous getaway.
We actually didn’t have anything planned for spring break, but last week we all decided that we needed just a few days away. So, here we are. I only wished that I looked at little deeper and realized that we are here for Dapper day! I at least had a dress packed in my bag, but I would have preferred us all looking much more dapper for Dapper Day. 🙂

What do all three of these dresses have in common? Pockets! I don’t think I buy dresses without pockets anymore.
What do you think? I was unsure about the second one because of how short it is, but I ended up liking it too much to return it. Actually, I will probably end up keeping all three!

What does one do with this much parsley? Our parsley went wild this year. I definitely don’t want to waste it. I’ve already given some away. The only thing I can really think to do is dry it, right?
Btw, if you have any good recipes involving parsley, please send them my way. 😂 #gardeninglife #parlsey #herbs #californialiving
